Summary

Sometimes you have to let your heart rule your head....

Cherry, Maggie and Rose are mother, daughter and granddaughter, each with their own hopes, dreams and even sorrows. They have always been close, so when, in a moment of impulse, Cherry buys a gorgeous but run-down pub in the village she grew up in, it soon becomes a family affair.

All three women uproot themselves and move to Rushbrook, deep in the heart of Somerset, to take over The Swan and restore it to its former glory. Cherry is at the helm, Maggie is in charge of the kitchen, and Rose tends the picturesque garden that leads down to the river.

Before long, the locals are delighted to find the beating heart of the village is back, bringing all kinds of surprises through the door.

Could Cherry's impulse purchase change all their lives—and bring everyone the happiness they're searching for?

Escape to the glorious Somerset countryside with this joyful and uplifting story of family, love and hope.

a cheesy story, full of color and flavor

I was initially hesitant and not fully engaged with the book during the 1st 2 chapters, mainly because these were the introduction chapters, but after passing that, the story and the narrator involved me on a charming and delightful tell with some colorful characters and interesting situations around them. entertaining for sure, would recommend this book which is a complete opposite to my usual type of reading

Beautifully narrated

A lovely story that makes one want to pack up and go and live in the beautiful countryside. Just enough love, drama, and energy to make a really nice easy listen. Lovely characters that you want to know and be friends with. A great family story with the same hiccups we all experience in our day-to-day living.
